Who is green peace? GP is a peace activist group formed by Irving Stowe in 1971 so that they could attempt to stop the US nuclear weapon tests. But now their goal is to use non-violent methods to expose global environmental problems and to force solutions for a green and peaceful future. The goal of this group is to ensure that the earth is able to nurture life. What have they done? in 1972, After Greenpeace's first action in 1971, the U.S. abandoned nuclear testing grounds at Amchitka Island, Alaska. twenty years later after lobbying by Greenpeace and other organizations, the 39 Antarctic Treaty signatories agree to a 50-year ban of mineral exploitation on the continent. GP protects the ocean by challenging industrial fishing companies and other earth damaging companies. They also plan on building marine sanctuaries by the year 2030, hopefully covering 30% of the ocean, which should help our ocean repopulate a flourish with life. if they accomplished this, it would give endangered species time to recover their numbers, hopefully recovering from extinction, this would stop people from fishing endangered animals.
